how change/add personalized user login icons?


using the graphical login interface, there is an icon near the user (it's the icon we can choice when we make a new user)

How I can change this icon for an existing user? (using the user tools in the Control Center I can change always but not this)

How I can use a "personalized" icon for an user (I mean: my favourite picture, for example, an icon different from the ones in Mandrake)?

Thanks a lot!

P.S. I know these are really stupid questions (voice: and what are you asking, then? ) but you should know all the possible on the system you use, I think...... so if you don't know the stupid things, how can manage the hard problems?

I'm assuming you're using kde and mdkkdm for your gui login

go to k menu/configuration/kde/others?/login manager, select the user you want to change his con

open another window with the file manager of your choice, preferred konqueror. and just drag any image (icon size) you want to the login manager window to fill the space of the current icon. That's it

Enjoy
